This comprehensive renovation of a
1920’s character building located on
the Cambie corridor included all new
electrical and mechanical systems,
seismic upgrades, and an increase
from 14 to 19 rental units.

New architectural elements such as
a central shared stair are modern in
expression, juxtaposing existing
construction. The design sought
to retain as much of the building’s
original character as possible;
materials salvaged from demolition
were upcycled to create new furniture
and artwork, reducing construction
waste while encapsulating a part
of the building’s history for future
generations.
